Ultrasound may help doctors decide when to remove breathing tubes
NCT ID NCT07523828
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at 100 ICU patients who are ready to try breathing on their own after being on a ventilator. It compares two methods to check for throat swelling (laryngeal edema): the standard cuff leak test and a newer ultrasound technique. The goal is to see if ultrasound can better predict who will successfully come off the ventilator without complications like stridor or sore throat.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a better, non-invasive way to predict which ICU patients are ready to come off the breathing tube, reducing complications.
What could go wrong
This is an early observational study with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to all ICU patients. The measurements may not be accurate enough to change practice.
